How do "I" see It?

 

Attitude!?

Ugh! Low leaden clouds, a foul, cold wet rain might have begun

Praise! Glorious day dawned bright blue sky adorned by halo sun

 

Hateful neighbor’s burning leaves to aggravate poor me again

Acrid smell on fog aloft reminds me of the kid I once had been

 

Just listen to that junky car Old Tim continuous roars up my street

Mr. Timothy’s orchard provides fresh-fruit nectar, Ah! Quite sweet

 

That stupid radio blares and vibrates my house like a throbbing drum

Then a pleasant gospel crooner-voice joined a chorded guitar strum

 

Angel-cake burned and pie tastes bland, I skimped on important “love” ingredient

Dare not eat dessert alone, vanilla ice cream added enhances experience expedient

 

Unfairness comes in gallons while fair waiting deserved-justice by the drop

Oh! Pray! A Penny saved?---Maybe, tomorrow?…Today, I choose to shop

 

My flowers died upon the vine before my seeds are ever planted

Tend it with time and water, a modicum of loving fun rays slanted

 

Alas! My mate has died; dare he do that to me?

For mine, a special recipe, for it’s I, he’s glad to see

 

“Ungrateful” kids can’t proud do me with grades nor fine profession

Honor time and love for family treasured is my fateful true confession

 

And, now, a rocky plot of ground which grows a few yellow dandelion weeds

Sowed a divine life of live, laugh, love in a fantasy vale of wildflower deeds

 

Yet, there be that eternal glow…then feel the brimstone heat of evil enmity

Rose subtle fragrance manifest in celestial communion-saint eternity

 

Perceived good, thought I, in each intent, this harsh judgment be not justified

Praise! Honor! Glory! To God’s Grace! Pray! Times, which I, exemplified

 

Planned decades plotted for a hero, left an empty vacant yearning

Return love to the Giver, “live fully” be life’s subtle honest learning

Amen!
